The former United boss watched on as Willett, 29, became the first Englishman to win golf’s signature tournament since Nick Faldo did so in 1996.

He said after Spieth wrapped the green jack around Willett’s shoulders: “The excitement today; I was at the 15th when there was a rumble and the scoreboard went up and Spieth's [lead went from] five to one and the excitement was unbelievable,” per the Mirror.

"I looked at Danny Willett, who was on the 16th tee, and he went to the toilet - unbelievable. It was a fantastic moment because he has his own thoughts and at that very moment he goes to the toilet and he is on his own. What was he thinking about?"

Probably composing himself, one presumes.

Ferguson, of course, has been in similar high-pressure situations. Cup finals, title challenges - the Scot experienced it all during his time at Manchester United.

He learned so much that he was called in by European Ryder Cup team in 2014 to give a motivational talk. Ferguson’s words clearly worked as Europe ran out winners over their American counterparts.
